• Halve the potatoes lengthwise, then cut each half into 5 wedges. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with about 3 tablespoons of the olive oil.

• While the fish cooks combine the tomatoes, parsley, scallions, lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil in a small bowl. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve the fish with a little of the sauce on top and with the potatoes alongside.
